Police called for student with LEGO gun, no really...

[allen-1]

Police called to New Haven magnet school for child making toy Lego gun

And the best part?
“School leaders and local police partners were able to investigate and resolve the issue internally with use of restorative practices. Appropriate steps were taken at the school level to insure the safety of all students and to impress upon the students the seriousness of engaging in positive peer interactions while avoiding conduct that may pose risk or concern to others. All children need to feel safe and secure within the learning environment and we all have a role to play to make that happen.”

Meanwhile, on my street here in Georgia, the kids point sticks at each other and yell "BANG!" and the parents smile and continue talking to one another. Really. The bigger kids have nerf guns, and have waterguns, and dartguns and nobody seems to get upset.

Oh, the "bigger" kids? They shoot real guns - under adult supervision.

Here's a picture I took last week of a friend of mine with his daughter:

The horror! When I used to play with Legos, I would only build low income housing with them.

Could you buy an add-on pack of a bird crapping on a LEGO car?

Oh capgun wars from wayback when. I think swat would respond if they saw that happening. My favorite was the shotgun that took strip caps..

Wtf?

Good idea. But I was too busy trying to figure out how the tenants kept destroying the housing almost as soon as they moved in. I thought they would be thankful and take good care of what was given to them for free, but sadly it didn't work out that way.

That's what you get for being a slum lord!

With kids ,the harder you push down on the spring, when the hand slips, the spring goes wild.

 

[Reyn]

Heres the one i built a while back. .... and yes... It WILL put an eye out!

 

[Glockster30]

If you live in MA, that weapon better be registered!

When are the police going to start reprimanding school staff for wasting their time on these nuisance calls?

Take it from me and do NOT delay. The very instant you're unencumbered, MOVE. Otherwise other ties will form and you may never escape...

A Lego gun? So, that's basically a Glock, eh?

Thank god they were able to “insure the safety” of everybody involved.

 

[Nikos]

Can the person who called be arrested for making a false report? Not trying to be funny here, I really wonder about this type of “incident “.

Because even the Cops are scared of these "Nuisance Nanny's" . . . . Here in Ma. All is "Political " . . . Job security ! ! !
